Chef Server, rabbitMQ Error: {cannot_connect_to_epmd,"herman-desktop",address}

I had my Chef server running fine until I changed the static IP address of my virtual machine. 
 When I tried to upload by data bag from my workstation it was failing with the below error

ERROR: internal server error
Response: Connection failed - user: chef
 While investigating I found that rabbitMQ service was not started and when I tried to restart the service I got the below error.

Starting rabbitmq-server: FAILED - check /var/log/rabbitmq/startup_log, _err
rabbitmq-server. 
...further investigation  I found that in /etc/hosts file there was an entry of my old 
static ip address against chef server










 So I changed it to localhost i.e 127.0.0.1 




 




...then i was able to restart rabbitMQ service and also was able to upload data bags into 


chef server

Setup little kitchen using Chef 11 server on CentOS 6




























    To setup little kitchen (development environment), I created 2 win2k8 R2 VMs one for workstation and another for node.
